And making fun of women for “dressing like whores” in this particular moment is absolutely the move of a shitbag misogynist

Great comedy - and there’s a lot of it - has always punched up or looked at one’s situation and found humor in failure, mistakes, lessons, or pain. Shitty comedy - and there’s a lot of this - mocks ppl who are different, often marginalized ppl with less power, and white men are the kings of it

Re: Shane Gillis I just want to remind everyone that this is the same humor that many male comedians have always made money off of. It’s never been funny. It’s always been cruel and exploitative. We’ve just normalized men being assholes and calling it comedy

YES. I still have dreams of ending up in BAE someday, but it won’t hit the same since this. I cannot believe they allowed that, and I cannot believe that year’s editor stood for it. And no one talks about it!

This has been one of the consistent critiques put forward by AI skeptics (like @edzitron.com): if you just RUN THE FUCKING NUMBERS, it makes no sense at all.

There is no ethical use of AI. This is a whole lot of fancy language that equates to ass covering, not ethics

Sorry to say there is no equality under patriarchy, so a woman needs to be worshipped in her love life to help even things out just a little 🤷🏻‍♀️

They are a case in point example of why I believe that the only heterosexual relationships that don’t just survive but thrive are when the man worships the woman and loves her as loudly as possible

I hate every single thing about Threads except for Gabby Sidibe and her husband Brandon, and for them I will continue to suffer gladly
A screenshot of Brandon screenshotting an insult from a troll. The troll says “You’re too buff to be this much of a pussy” and Brandon quoted it with “Well, they say you are what you eat 😊.” In response, Gabby replied with a pic of herself pointing and smiling (I would argue in glee).

Also just the arrogance at thinking that swimming in a cesspool of white supremacists and technofascists and pedophiles will not affect you! News flash: if you are willing to associate with them for your own benefit, IT HAS AFFECTED YOU

Also I’m seeing a few posts that are “all I see on Twitter is news” and you are missing the point. Just because your little corner of X seems fine doesn’t mean it’s fine. If you are ok being surrounded by bots, white supremacists and CSA as long as it doesn’t affect you, you are part of the problem

Such a smart tip. And I’m concerned too. I think we have reason to be

Meg Pillow @megpillow.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
Twitter, whatever it was, is gone. Dead and buried. X is owned by a fascist who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of ppl, maybe even millions. It is actively used to generate CSA. All social media has problems, but X is a cesspool. And if you use it, you cannot see it

Joining Twitter was one of the best decisions of my life. It helped me identify unhealthy patterns, leave my marriage, find a writing community, get published, and find my job. Leaving X was one of the best decisions of my life. It saved my mental health and my ability to live my values

I honestly cannot sit around and listen to another frail old person talk about how great it is that they lost 20 pounds because they couldn’t eat after anesthesia or because their diabetes meds made them ill. Yeah, it’s great that now your bones have zero padding and will crack like eggshells

I also don’t care if you use a GLP-1 either tbh. I just don’t want to spend my life obsessing about weight - mine or anyone else’s. I got better shit to do than that

Meg Pillow @megpillow.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
No one is superior just because they happen to be thin. When you you see a fat person, you have absolutely no idea what their life situation, food access, medical conditions, disability, assault history, etc is. Weight means nothing and is also none of your damn business 🫶🏻

Meg Pillow @megpillow.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
After listening to a bunch of Boomers congratulate each other for losing weight due to their medical conditions, I just had a talk with my kids about how weight, just like sexuality, race, ethnicity, gender etc is just a descriptor and has no moral value

I am perhaps too jaded, but I am not surprised that this country is bringing back public execution. We bomb civilians and children or send the bombs to other countries so they can. We’ve normalized school shootings, ICE kidnappings, poverty, medical bankruptcy, and sexual assault. This is who we are

After Princeton ditched her, McGill scooped her up and she taught there from 1988-2002, proving again that McGill is, as Heated Rivalry said, "a really good school."

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been following the attempts to smear the Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case and redirect blame from the seven fraternity men onto her. As usual, this campaign is built on a mountain of lies and misogyny. spitfirenews.com/p/cornell-ja...

Debunking the smear campaign against the Cornell Jane Doe
Authorities, media outlets, and pundits are lying about this woman. But only her credibility is getting judged.

Today is my son Elias’s birthday. Imagine this is your child, losing his sight while you can’t save him. He has already lost one eye, and the last light is fading. Please give Elias the birthday gift he needs most: a chance to see again. Verified by : molly shah✅ chuffed.org/project/196611
Elias sitting on a rug crying. He's wearing glasses, a patch on his left eye and a bandage on his right wrist.

Every single guy thinks they would have called out what happened at Cornell but none of the statistics support that. You deserve no social media validation for taking a stand or doing the right thing. That’s the bare fucking minimum

I am very, very tired of watching men attempt to paint themselves as “one of the good guys” online. Please just do the damn work. Call out your buddies. Actually sit with the harms you yourself have caused to women by examining your own behavior rather than just pointing fingers

Re-upping this vital piece of writing. Painful and profound, it moved to reread it as soon as I’d finished the first round. The losses examined here are vast, and stay with the reader. It also helped me come to grips with the abuse I experienced.

I really love seeing all this solidarity from women and the “I am Jane Doe” posts but we did this with Me Too and nothing fucking changed. I want the men to step up and publicly promise to change themselves and call out their buddies instead of women always being forced to volunteer our trauma

And this is why cishet men who talk about themselves as somehow more enlightened because they are ENM are walking red flag. And yes, I do indeed know from experience, and I will never make that mistake again
020
Meg Pillow @megpillow.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I really need folks to take this discourse about how unsafe most men are and apply it to ENM because most cishet men who want ENM - and there are a lot of them out there - are absolutely not safe ppl to engage in ENM with. ENM under patriarchy when it involves cishet men is also dangerous
